Our Cody Youth Climbing Camp is open to youth of all backgrounds in northwest Wyoming who want to explore the amazing rock climbing resources in their backyard. This educational climbing camp focuses on three main learning objectives: safety, sustainability, and supportiveness. Safety is our first priority as participants learn the fundamentals of climbing safety systems and technique they climb outdoors west of Cody. Sustainability is also very important as we place great emphasis on teaching Leave No Trace practices to help participants become more sustainable users of this pristine resource. We also work hard to foster a supportive learning environment for participants to feel included, valued, and part of a team that works together. This camp is physically and mentally challenging but highly rewarding as participants learn new skills, explore a beautiful place, and have a lot of fun! Ages 9-18 years old. Price: $300 ($100 deposit at sign up, remaining balance due two weeks before camp). This includes gratuity for the guides working the camp. 12 spots per camp so sign up early.

Presentation: Knowing the West
2025-06-12 18:00 - 19:30 | Buffalo Bill Center of the West, BBCW | 720 Sheridan Ave, Cody, Wyoming
Join us the evening of June 12 for this presentation in our occasional Peter Hassrick Public Program series. Mindy Besaw, a former curator of our Whitney Western Art Museum, presents Knowing the West, based on a traveling exhibition co-curated by Besaw and Jami Powell that premiered at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, where Besaw has worked since 2014.
Mindy Besaw shares insights about the exhibition Knowing the West, the first major traveling exhibition to embrace the American West as more inclusive, complex, and reflective of the diverse peoples who contributed to art and life there. Americans often feel they “know the West,” whether informed by direct experience or popular culture. The exhibition of more than 120 historic works by Native American and non-Native American artists brings together textiles, baskets, paintings, pottery, sculpture, beadwork, saddles, and prints to encourage deeper exploration of a familiar topic. This lecture highlights the remarkable artworks and stories about the artists, and reveals behind-the-scenes insight into the deeply collaborative process used to organize and realize the exhibition.
Knowing the West premiered at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (September 2024–January 2025). It travels to the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens in Jacksonville, Florida (March–August 2025) and North Carolina Museum of Art (March–May 2026). The exhibition is accompanied by a multi-author, full-color catalogue, published by Rizzoli.

SOLD OUT! Exclusive Tours and Trails: Buffalo Bill’s TE Ranch
2025-06-15 13:00 | Buffalo Bill Center of the West, BBCW | 720 Sheridan Ave, Cody, Wyoming
Join us for an exclusive, guided experience through the storied past of Buffalo Bill Cody’s legendary TE Ranch. Nestled in the breathtaking South Fork Valley, this tour provides a rare opportunity to explore one of the most iconic ranches in the West. Once the personal retreat of Buffalo Bill himself, this walk through history offers privileged access to this historic property rarely open to the public.
Established by William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody in 1895, the TE Ranch served as both a working cattle operation and a relaxing haven for the man who captivated the world with his Wild West Shows. Today, the TE is still a working cattle ranch and in 2021 its owners and managers were named “Landowners of the Year” in the Big Horn Basin by the Wyoming Fish and Game Department.
During this unforgettable event, guests will see the original ranch grounds, historic buildings, and preserved landscapes that reflect Buffalo Bill’s pioneering vision. Participants will hear historical facts and stories that delve into Cody’s complex legacy and learn about the TE Ranch’s heritage, including its connection to the Shoshone irrigation project and development of the Big Horn Basin.
This is more than a tour; it’s a journey into the past and a chance to walk where legends walked. With extremely limited group size, personalized interpretation, and exclusive access, this is a unique opportunity for history enthusiasts, heritage travelers, and admirers of the true American West.
This Tours & Trails event begins at the Center of the West at 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 15. We expect to return to the Center around 5 p.m. or a bit later. There will be quite a bit of walking at the ranch, some of it on uneven ground, so please wear sturdy walking shoes.
Spots are limited and advanced registration is required. Cost is $70 for Buffalo Bill Center of the West members and $75 for non-members. Shared transportation to the ranch is available, and tickets to this program include complimentary snacks and water.
